| But they are belied by what is there for all to see. Jerusalem is divided even if there were no "separation barrier" to make it obvious. It is divided by inequality of opportunity, by expansion on one side and compression on the other, by legality and illegality. Barkat can heap 10 year plans on top of the 2 year plans that look like they`ll take 20 or, we hear, might even be scrapped altogether despite the fact that they`re already half-built. But nothing will change the reality that Jerusalem has been divided since 1948. It`s the barriers that have changed, not the city`s basic status. |
